Whats playing on your system today?
Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma".
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

slaw, I’m glad you enjoyed Tanita Tikaram. It’s not my usual guitar hero go to, but I like what I like. I try to keep an open mind. Thanks for the reciprocation of Kattell Keineg. She as fantastic as well. arcam88, I think Donald Fagan is a genius. ghosthouse and I discussed topic a while back. I like most anything by Steelay Dan. Countdown to Extacy is a fav. As for Aja, and Katie lied, I like both releases. However to reinforce what slaw might have eluded to, Wikipedia does quote this about Katie Lied..."Band leaders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were unhappy with the album’s sound quality because of an equipment malfunction with the then-new dbx noise reduction system. The group has claimed that the damage was mostly repaired after consulting with the engineers at dbx, but Fagen and Becker still refused to listen to the completed album..." The album was reissued by MCA Records after ABC Records was acquired by MCA in 1979. Snowy White, "Midnight Blues" (2012) played with Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd I found a great Live video for this one, https://youtu.be/BlrtrP72Gdk N |

A big shout out to all the great suggestions here. I've come across so many artists I hadn't heard before and some from the past that I had forgotten about.

Back at ya, Nutty. This was on my system yesterday (appropriately, enough), but it is good any day! Joe Bonamassa, "A New Day Yesterday Live". The title track, Track 4, is all you need to know about Joe B. This track tells you everything...that’s good and bad, unfortunately. Don't know when this Rockpalast performance is from. Thinking that maybe I prefer the ANDYL performance (more disciplined not quite as over the top?). Still this'll give anyone a good idea what we be talkin' 'bout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWx-3fiG7mk&ab_channel=JoeBonamassaTV Apologies if this has already been mentioned. |
ghosthouse, Thanks for the great Bonamossa link. (On the other thread) He's one of the greats. Here's somthing that might appeal to you.. arcam88 sent me a link for Walter Trout. "Got A Broken Heart". https://youtu.be/r3tRhy8noU4 I also found a great recording by Bonamossa & Trout, "Clouds On The Horizon". https://youtu.be/E3WJnCb6wU0 N |
Stevie Stevens, Memory Crash. You rember him from his work with Billy Idol and he did the guitar work on the Top Gun Movie Anthem. There is a cover of Trowers "Day of the Eagle", check it if ya want. "Prime Mover" has a great groove. https://youtu.be/QsjwpAPyyEs And "Cherry Vanilla" is cool. https://youtu.be/oV12Z1pOStg N |
Nutty - If you like Stevens, give a listen to Black Light Syndrome and Situation Dangerous. These are collaborative recordings he did with Terry Bozzio and Tony Levin (BLS). Great sonics and great playing by all. Standout tracks for me from Black Light Syndrome are Duende & Book of Hours. I especially like Spiral and Tziganne from Situation Dangerous. If you don't already know 'em, could be some great new music for you (though these are not new recordings). |
Nutty - Have Memory Crash going in the 'phones tonight. Tried this recording a while back. For whatever reason, it didn't grab me then. Sure am picking up on it tonight though! Like the fact it is mainly instrumental (well, just got to his cover of Day of the Eagle...so a vocal there). This LP has a bit of a prog feel to it...Water on Ares does, at least. Good recommendation. arcam88 - I have the SACD version of Up. It is a fantastic recording and I expect that applies to the Redbook CD version just as much. The dynamics on Track 1 have startled the heck out of me more than once. Many strong songs. My fav is what immediately follows More Than This, that being Signal to Noise. Something very moving about that song. |
ghosthouse, I really liked BLS. Reminiscent of Liquid Tension Experiment. Anything with Tony Levin is usually very well produced. I agree with your song picks also. I believe they are the some of the best tracks. Thanks for the intel! arcam88, great selection as always! In keeping with the Tony Levin and Peter Gabriel theme, I listened to a Remastered version of "So" that is recorded very nicely. I really like this from Dalton Santos. "I Guitar". https://youtu.be/wSlJU4mQ5MQ N |
I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record (well, actually like a continuous audio stream), but this morning I'm listening to Radio Paradise's internet radio stream (Again!). I love the eclectic mix. They just played Two Cello's version of "Hurt" followed by Led Zeppelin - "Heartbreaker", then Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - "All in a Day". Who does that?........... :~) I've found so much new music on Radio Paradise. I've started using Shazam just to keep a running record of the new music I hear, and want to buy, while listening to RP. Seriously, for me, for passive listening, Radio Paradise is currently my favorite music source, bar none. It ain't bad for active listing either. I find the sound quality at 320kbps to be excellent. I'm often in pure amazement regarding their playlist. I have a little music server/streamer that I built using a Raspberry Pi / HiFiBerry DAC Pro+ that I use for streaming RP to my main system. It sounds great! Happy Weekend to All, and Enjoy....... |
